A private tour of Historic Croydon Airport is available at the Croydon Airport Visitor Centre. The experience provides a journey through the history of Britain's first international airport. Tickets are priced from £5.00 to £12.00.
Step inside Historic Croydon Airport for an exclusive private tour through Britain's first international airport.
Prepare for departure on an exclusive adventure through the golden age of flight at Historic Croydon Airport. Step inside the birthplace of modern air travel and uncover the stories of pioneering aviators, record-breaking flights, wartime resilience, and the world's first purpose-built airport terminal.
Your 90-minute private tour will take you from the airport's RAF origins to the iconic control tower where global air traffic control procedures were born. Along the way, discover the achievements of aviation trailblazers such as Amy Johnson and explore a site that once stood at the very heart of international travel.
With the museum normally opening to the public just once a month and places strictly limited, this is a rare chance to experience a fascinating chapter of British history before it disappears beyond the horizon.
Secure your place today and join us for an unforgettable journey through the stories, people, and innovations that changed the world of flight forever.

The tour is designed for adults. If you are planning to bring young children, please let us know before you buy your ticket. You can email Conferences.UK@aicpa-cima.com
